Bible Month 2026: Explore Philippians Together
This year, Bible Month invites churches and small groups to dive into one of the most joyful and encouraging letters in the New Testament: Philippians. Written by Paul from prison, this short epistle overflows with warmth, hope, and practical wisdom for living a Christ-shaped life.
Across four weeks, you’ll discover:
- Joy that endures – Paul’s call to rejoice, even in hardship, rooted in confidence in God’s goodness.
- Christ-like humility – the famous “Christ hymn” in chapter 2, showing Jesus’ self-giving love as our model.
- Pressing on in faith – discipleship as a lifelong journey of growth and perseverance.
- Grace and peace – learning contentment and generosity in every circumstance.

We will be live streaming this event on YouTube. You can tune in from wherever you are across the Connexion in one of two ways:
1. Watch ONLINE at home
If you're unable to gather with others from your church or circuit, you can still join in from home. A YouTube link will be sent direct to you in the build up to the event, and recordings will be available afterwards, too.
2. Host a local HUB
We'd strongly encourage you to gather with others from your local setting to engage with this training together. Register to host a venue, and we'll send you the resources you need to do this well.
